Moved to a new instance so a re- #introduction:
I'm a he/him living in #Cumbria (the North-West of England).
I'd rather be #outdoors #cycling than looking at a screen: #gravel (old-school #roughstuff), #mtb, #cyclocross, #fatbike, #ultradistance, #bikepacking, it's all good whether #activeTravel or #adventure.

Wondering if this exists. If not, free idea.
I sometimes like reading old pulp fiction mags. Great collection here: https://archive.org/details/pulpmagazinearchive
I'd like to read them on my ebook reader. Would love an rss feed of individual stories in text format.
Archive.org does have an rss feed, but it's only links to the downloads. They also have OCR'd versions but the quality and formatting it horrible.
Would love a cleaned up feed of these with a story or few per week. Might look into doing it myself.
This juxtaposition looks as though I've commissioned @wefail to provide illustrations to accompany my home timeline.

Ingenious, Indigenous cartography: The Tunumiit (Eastern Greenlandic Inuit) practice of carving portable maps out of driftwood to be used while navigating coastal waters. These pieces, which are small enough to be carried in a mitten, represent coastlines in a continuous line, up one side of the wood and down the other. The maps are compact, buoyant, and can be read in the dark.
